583 Situ Yuanzhi’s request _1
Perhaps, it was because his cultivation was higher than Tang Zhen and the others, but the red Shield appeared a little arrogant. However, his tone was still rather polite. After all, Tang Zhen was also a King level cultivator!
After cultivators reached the king level, they could be considered to have broken away from the ordinary life level and entered a higher life form. They all had some powerful means, so they usually avoided fighting.
However, once they made a move, they would definitely fight to the death!
The five of them were partners for the time being. They would help each other in the exploration of the giant tower. It was for this reason that the red Shield’s attitude was acceptable.
They were all outstanding cultivators who had grown up step by step from low-level cultivators, so they naturally knew the importance of tacit understanding in joint operations. It would be too unworthy if the operation was affected by some small matter.
After introducing each other, the group did not stay any longer. They prepared to go straight in the direction where the giant tower had once appeared.
Tang Zhen had originally planned to fly, but before he could move, the fat cultivator called Lu ha took out a folded towel from behind him and casually threw it over.
After the towel was thrown a dozen meters away, it immediately unfolded in the air as if there was a pair of invisible hands controlling it.
Under Tang Zhen’s gaze, it transformed into a three meter wide and five meter long blanket that was directly suspended in the air.
It turned out that this blanket full of strange patterns was actually a flying tool!
Seeing Tang Zhen’s unblinking eyes staring at the blanket, Lu ha smiled and said, I’m sure you think this flying magic carpet is pretty good too, city Lord Tang. I spent half a year in the Otherworld before I found it in a tomb!
Tang Zhen’s brows furrowed when he heard this. He did not expect that this thing was actually dug out from a dead person’s grave. Now, Lu ha was carrying it with him all the time. It was somewhat repulsive.
However, Tang Zhen’s face was relieved after thinking about it. After all, Lou Cheng’s cultivators were not afraid of life and death. There was no taboo for them to make money from the dead.
At luha’s invitation, everyone jumped onto the flying carpet. Then, luha chanted a strange incantation, and the flying carpet immediately sped forward.
The feeling of sitting on the magic carpet was very strange. It was like sitting on a soft sofa, as if you could fall from the sky at any time. But in fact, even if you deliberately leaned out, the flying magic carpet would automatically adjust itself to ensure that you wouldn’t fall.
Tang Zhen felt as though he was sliding on snow. The invisible air was like endless snow!
This was indeed a good item. Unfortunately, Lu ha only had this one. Otherwise, Tang Zhen would have really planned to exchange it for something else.
It was boring to travel in the air. Other than the cold wind, there were only white clouds. From time to time, flying monsters would try to chase after the flying carpet.
However, after sensing the aura of Tang Zhen and the others, those flying monsters were immediately scared witless. They quickly turned around in mid-air and ran as far away as they could.
Tang Zhen and the rest did not remain idle. Instead, they continued to observe the ground in an attempt to find traces of the giant tower!
Heaven battling city’s elder, situ Yuanzhi, was sitting beside Tang Zhen. After the flying carpet had covered a few hundred kilometers, he suddenly turned his head and said to Tang Zhen, ” I heard that city Lord Tang Zhen came from a continent-level City Tower. I wonder if it’s true? ”
Tang Zhen’s heart moved when he heard this. He asked, that’s just nonsense. I was born in a poor family, how could I be a resident of a continent-level city!
After hearing Tang Zhen’s words, situ Yuanzhi shook his head slightly. After a moment of silence, he said to Tang Zhen, whether city Lord Tang is a resident of a continent-level city or not, there’s no need to talk about it anymore. However, this old man would like to make a deal with city Lord Tang. I wonder if you’re willing to do so? ”
“What deal? tell me.”
Tang Zhen looked at situ Yuanzhi and spoke in a calm tone.
“As far as I know, the Holy Dragon City is about to be upgraded to a level six City Tower. At that time, the overseas battlefield will be opened.
My heaven battling city’s auxiliary city has been operating overseas for many years, and it has become my base overseas. If your loucheng opens the overseas battlefield, we can provide you with help and let your loucheng quickly accumulate battle merits!
With our help, within a hundred years, Holy Dragon City will definitely be able to upgrade to a grade 8 city!”
After situ Yuanzhi finished speaking, he looked at Tang Zhen without blinking and waited for his question.
There’s no such thing as a free lunch in this world. So, what price do I have to pay? ”
Tang Zhen’s face did not have much of a happy expression. He merely looked at situ Yuanzhi with an indifferent expression.
The old man had invited him to explore the giant tower because of his strength, but his main target was probably the non-existent continent-level tower behind him!
Seeing Tang Zhen’s question, situ Yuanzhi said, ” “I hope that city Lord tang can discuss with the people behind you to assist heaven battling city in completing the mission of upgrading the city to the national level.
If you succeed in this mission, my heaven battling city will also present a generous gift to city Lord Tang!”
Tang Zhen fell silent when he heard this. He really couldn’t agree to situ Yuanzhi’s request because he didn’t have a continent-level city behind him. Naturally, he couldn’t provide any help.
However, the generous gift from the other party’s mouth made Tang Zhen quite moved, because since he saw the exchange materials Zhou Taikang showed him, in addition to being shocked and envious, Tang Zhen also had the idea of finding a way to get more.
Heaven battling city didn’t lack money, so the only way to make them willingly hand over these materials to Tang Zhen seemed to be to help them complete the promotion mission of the national level building.
When he thought of this, Tang Zhen pretended to be deep in thought and said to situ Yuanzhi,”Why don’t you tell me about your promotion mission first, elder situ? then we can talk about other things!”
When situ Yuanzhi heard this, his eyes lit up and he immediately spoke.
It turned out that heaven battling city had been promoted to a level 9 building for nearly a thousand years, and it had been working hard to upgrade to a national level, but it had never taken the last step.
According to the requirements of the cornerstone platform, heaven battling city had to pay enough world origin to be qualified to be promoted to a national-level building.
However, the world’s source energy was quite special. It represented a world’s life force and fate, and it could be split into countless parts or gathered together.
Once the world’s origin was plundered, it also meant that its vitality was gone, and the world would gradually become a wasteland.
Moreover, this world origin had another characteristic. It was not an object, but existed in the body of some creatures in this world. It was impossible to discover by looking at the appearance.
Moreover, after the indigenous creatures were hosted by the world’s origin, there would not be many changes, and even the host himself did not know.
However, because the world’s origin represented the world’s fate, the host’s luck was probably better than that of ordinary people.
Although the world’s origin existed in the form of energy, it could only be discovered when Lou Cheng killed its host. This was why Lou Cheng always wanted to destroy the world after invading it.
In order to find the world’s origin, they had no choice but to do this!
As a result, the invaded world was bound to be destroyed. Firstly, the cultivators of Lou Cheng had to kill in order to find the world’s origin. Secondly, after the origin was plundered, the life force would no longer be there, so destruction was inevitable.
Heaven battling city’s misfortune was precisely because of this. The world that they had invaded when they accepted the advancement quest had its world’s natural source scattered. This had caused heaven battling city to constantly wage war against the invading world over and over again in the past 1000 years.
However, the area of that world was very large, and the strength of the indigenous people was also very strong. They had long United to fight against the invasion of heaven battling city.
Although heaven battling city was a ninth-grade city, compared to the original world, it was only a Super City, so heaven battling city naturally couldn’t easily destroy this world.
The two sides had been fighting for thousands of years, which had caused heaven battling city to sink into the quagmire of war, and it had never been able to gather enough world origin!
On the contrary, because of heaven battling city’s invasion, that foreign world had become more and more powerful, and now it was even beginning to gain the upper hand in resisting heaven battling city!
If this mission failed, heaven battling city would have to start all over again if it wanted to upgrade to a national level. This was because if the mission failed, the world origin that had been submitted would automatically be cleared!
In order to conquer this world, heaven battling city had invested countless human and material resources, so how could it easily give up!
On the one hand, it was stuck at the gate of promotion, and on the other hand, it had to fight with the enemy foreign races, which made heaven battling city’s situation very bleak.
Therefore, after knowing that Tang Zhen might come from a continent-level city, heaven battling city saw a glimmer of hope. They hoped to get the help of the continent-level city and gather enough world origin as soon as possible!
